Sounds like crappy plastic then to me, They were likely under tension internally due to the design hence why they are cracking/cracked at the same points.

I notice the inside ring has split at the seam on the right one and the left has a seam split above the front trigger, just looking on net I found posts of people with similar cracks, so seem a design flaw.

If they don't replace them then I could probably get some proper tamiya cement glue and fix them

Those look like they have been stuffed in a drawer with excess weight on them resulting in stress fractures.

Nope on my desk behind the monitor, that's how I spotted the crack, I noticed also the right 1 has a crack starting on the opposite side of the ring in the same place.

It's looking promising got an email asking for address and invoice so here's hoping
 
Finally got the Rift S going. Got stuck playing with the stupid robot for about an hour. Was fun tho, but god sweaty now !!!!

Went to play HL Alyx but dopey here forgot to install Steam VR FFS. So now I gotta wait :(
 
Oh wow. What an experience that was.

I played for about an hour, but I spent most of it just looking around. I must wear trainers, as standing still on my polycarbonate chair mat gave me chronic pins and needles in my feet.

I spent about 20 mins trying to work out how to climb a wall. I bent down trying to pick things up, threw some boxes in anger. Time I was done my back was killing me. Then I realised it takes about a second, you don't need to pick anything up etc but I was just getting memory from HL2, and thought it was some sort of cruel valve puzzle.

I really must get into the mindset. It will kill me otherwise LOL.

Totally amazing though. Well, until I got so hot the sweat ran into my eyes and stung to buggery. I don't think it's the weather for it right now. Good workout though !

Try the punch bag in "knockout league" that will make you sweat ;)
 
Dude, bending down to touch the ground and trying to pick up a big wooden thing was enough lol.

I want to play more but I haven't even had dinner yet. Been sorting out my cupboards all day and sorting stuff out, got to the point I had to have a cold shower so I'm gonna leave it for today I don't want to have another one lol.
 
This is mainly aimed at WYP but perhaps of interest to others too.

Not sure if your E3 Pro printer supports power loss functionalities but if it does, there is a fantastic way to print long hours without actually printing for long hours.

I know you dont like doing things over 14hours. What I noticed and use now in cura is G-code post processing "pause at layer/height". It means exactly what it says. The printer will pause at a given height in mm, or a specific layer number.

It will allow you to print 50% of your model, pause at layer 100 of 200 (it moves extruder off the model to avoid heat blobs) and then you can do what you want. For example in your case, you could print half the model, and when it moves to the pause spot on the bed, just power off the printer and go to bed.

Morning comes around, you switch on the printer and simply resume print.

I've been using that script to pause the models and insert magnets inside. I also use the script to display the layer number and/or time left to complete. Very useful little additions to those long tedious and noisy projects.
 
Right. I had to figure out playing Alyx sitting. It was killing my feet (I have foot problems). The standing still for an hour at a time was leaving me with pins and needles in my feet.

Sitting? it works very well indeed. I still have to stand to see over the tops of cabinets etc every now and then but other than that it works beautifully. I managed to play for over two hours without steaming up the headset (and thus not see, that was my first standing session).

Trying to get the shotgun now. I have figured it out, just need to put it into practice later lol.

i tried sitting, but the immersion is lost for me, I cant get into any VR game in a seat unless its required, like ED. I need to be able to move, and squat etc.

I find that as well, it feels more real squatting and leaning to look around a corner

Hasn't changed any of the immersion for me. I wasn't moving much any way, apart from standing there until my feet went totally numb. The movement is all done by the sticks, and I am quite restricted any way being in my small apartment. I biffed things a few times.

What I could not bear was the headset itself steaming up to the point I could not see anything. Then it was getting beyond silly.
 
I had to wear running shoes when I played, lol. I have a bare concrete floor in the basement in the room I play in so it was rough on my feet.

Yeah polycarbonate is just as unforgiving. Plus it is like plastic, so my feet were sweaty AF.

I'm not great on my feet any way. My feet lean in on the insides. Meaning I have to wear Nike or any other trainer/sneaks with good anatomical support. Put it this way, I can walk about 100m in my flat bottom riding shoes (VANs).

My ankles just start hurting really bad. I am wondering if it's the onset of arthritis from my mother (nice one ma) or whether it has something to do with the Statin I am on. Probably the latter at least in my feet. My hands are buggered, but that is from continually busting fingers riding BMX.

It's just far, far safer to sit in here. It's a very expensive room lol. Bumping into and breaking things is not an option.

Just probably your pronation on your feet. perhaps you are wearing shoes very bad for the type which judging by the sound of it is supination. And there aren't many shoe companies that support it that well, not even Nike. They seem to cater for overpronators or neutral stances these days. However, check out brooks Ghost 9s, or Ascics Gel cumulus 19 they are really good for supinations. I have a colleague semi pro runner who uses them.

edit* Nike actually do have a few pairs, like the Free 5.0 so I stand corrected.

I'd go to a sports shop where they could test shoes with fitting pronation.

Same, but sadly many go purely on looks nothing else, and there are some pretty damn uncomfortable Nike/addidas variants out there. Great comfy feel when you have them, but once your feet break them in, its horrible.
 
I just need to make sure that they come with the anatomical support. Most running shoes do. Some of them come with additional supports etc.

Think its more to it than that. Over pronate shoes for you would seriously f**k up your feet immensly. Imagine a painful force on the inside of your feet for badly provided supports :)
